  10 Perfect

  Dully as Monster-A-Go-Go and as pointless as Manos. Grade-A stinker from the pits of heck with a plot that's slower than a snail in a rock quarry. And while watching this I ask myself, 'The movie lives up to it's title... HOW?' Word of warning: BEWARE! hide show

  This movie is so pathetic. Unlike the how it's title stated, it's mostly about this dull 'wild-Thing' guy (who Crow points out as the diector and writer Ray Dennis Steckler who should be sent to a 'Nuthouse' for ever thinking that anyone would like this movie!) who spends most of time in a carnivil, that has 'mild strip clubs' where this where vodo lady kidnaps and kills people for some strange reason (I think bumping into her or soemthing like that).
  
  Movie has constant "Something-View Cam" which will quarente to give you a headache.
  
  Due to bad audio and sound in this $38,000-flop (info from Wikipedia), it's hard to tell what the actors are saying and the film method of the movie is really bad too. It's like Monster-A-Go-Go and the beginging part of Manos, with a hint of a Torgo-wanabe, into one film, so you know the S.O.L. Crew are in a real trouble this time. You don't really see the zombies till around the last 12 minutes and then they have this long-long-LONG and pointless chase scene on the beach that really shows you that it's a chase scene... on the beach.
  
  So, that's my word on the movie: Sucks. The episode is funny, long, but funny none the less. Enjoy

  Do you agree?

• Crow: (as Estrella hypnotizes Jerry) Okay, lady, we get it! You've hypnotized the hell out of him! [edit]
• (Jerry is being hypnotized by Estrella)
  Estrella: Into a deep sleep.
  Mike: (as the camera goes back and forth toward Jerry's face) He won't sleep if you keep hitting the Steadicam against his head! [edit]
• Mike: (after seeing the small 'presents' in the opening title sequence) Oh, boy. The size of the word 'presents' makes me think they're a little sheepish about it. [edit]

• Over a shot of Marge in her dressing room, Tom says, 'Renee Richards is Wendy Carlos in Glen or Glenda.' This is a triple allusion, all having to do with transvestism or sex reassignment surgery:
  
  Renee Richards: The female tennis pro who had previously been eye doctor Richard Raskind
  
  Wendy Carlos: A innovator in the playing of the synthesizer as Walter Carlos, he had surgery in 1972 and became Wendy
  
  Glen or Glenda: The infamous 1953 film directed by Ed Wood which is said to be semi-autobiographical. [edit]
• Waiting For Guffman:
  Tom says about Bill and Marge's first routine, 'I think Corky St. Clair choreographed this.' This is a reference to Christopher Guest's role in Waiting For Guffman. [edit]
• Garth Hudson:
  When Estrella's booth is first seen, an organ is playing in the background. This prompts Crow to say, 'Garth Hudson's playing behind that curtain.' Garth Hudson is best known as the keyborardist and organist for The Band. [edit]
